About this programme
Toxicology seeks to understand the nature and mechanism of adverse effects of toxicants such as those found in industry, in the household, in food, in medicine and those that occur naturally in the environment. The English-language Master’s degree in toxicology at the University of Potsdam prepares you to participate in this field with a particular emphasis on cellular and molecular mechanisms of toxicity and to risk assessment. The research-oriented Master’s degree programme in toxicology conveys comprehensive knowledge about toxicants including their impact on living organisms. You will gain a profound understanding in general toxicology including pharmacology, physiology and pathophysiology, organ toxicology, pathological anatomy as well as histopathology. Furthermore, you will develop a methodological toolkit that enables you to explore and analyse these phenomena. Thereby the knowledge about chemistry, biochemistry and medicine is deepened as well as your practical competences will be extended in analytical chemistry, in vitro toxicology and in vivo toxicology (e.g. experimental animal models in toxicology). Since working as a toxicologist also implicates a juristic dimension, you will gain substantial knowledge in national and international legislative and regulatory processes.
